Tresor Rare is a luxury skincare brand that makes a variety
of potent treatments to rejuvenate the complexion quickly and efficiently for
enhanced radiance and health. On a daily basis I use many high-end products but
these $5,000 dollar Binchotan Zumi Masks are probably the most expensive
treatments I’ve tried. 5K may seem like a hefty price tag but the active ingredient
infused in these masks is unique, rare and costly.

Kishu Binchotan is a type of Japaense charcoal – the best
and highest quality charcoal in the world.
Due to its highly absorbent, porous composition, the charcoal is able to
draw out and absorb environmental debris, dirt and bacteria to purify, cleanse
and balance the skin. The Masks from Tresor are made with 100% pure Binchotan
charcoal – offering the highest level of detoxification on the market and the
most effective purification.

The charcoal is harvested from the hardwood of a tree grown
in Japan. The wood is collected, burned and carbonized using traditional
methods to preserve its richness and density. The mask fabric is composed of biodegradable
plant fibers which are safe for the skin and the environment.

For anti-aging care, these masks provide ultimate
penetration and positive ions that lift, tone and diminish the appearance of
wrinkles and fine lines while refining skin texture for a youthful glow. Because
the formula absorbs so quickly, the recommended treatment time is just 10
minutes although I usually keep it on for 25 minutes.

To prepare my face and ensure that my skin is highly
receptive to the ingredients, I begin by deep cleansing and exfoliating with a
foaming face wash, using my Clarisonic or Foreo Luna which utilize powerful sonic
vibration. Before applying the mask, I open my pores by using a face steamer for
about 5 minutes.

The sheet mask (which is black in color) is thoroughly
drenched in nourishing serum for optimal results and the scent is lovely! Make
sure to remove and unfold the mask with care to prevent tearing the delicate
material. A thin separator sheet folded into the mask would have made handling
it a bit easier but it adheres to the face like a second skin – better than any
other sheet mask I’ve used. This fabulous clinging ability ensures that every
drop of active ingredient is driven deep into the epidermis to expel toxins.

After about 20 minutes I notice a refreshing cooling
sensation and my skin is hydrated, supple, smooth and bright. I’ve also noticed
a reduction in irritation, sensitivity and pimples (including hormonal
blemishes) and my complexion appears more radiant, clear and even with no dry
patches or roughness. It has also helped correct discoloration and repair areas
of heat rash and sun damage.

The beautiful bottle contains a luxurious active charcoal
serum that starts off black and disappears into the skin with no residue. The
directions for this formula aren’t as clear – there is no indication whether it
should be applied directly after the sheet mask but that seems to be the most
effective method. The serum is light and non-greasy so it melts in quickly and
acts as a base for any moisturizer or makeup you layer on top. I like knowing
that my skin is being detoxified and protected as I get my beauty rest.

I usually end my treatment by applying my night care
products including the amazing Tresor Rare Ultimate Pearl Protecting and Defending Cream which has dramatically improved the overall health and resilience of my
skin. You know a product is good when people around you begin noticing how
amazing your skin looks and using my Arbonne Genuis Ultra Tool to melt the formula in deeper, works wonders! Since incorporating Tresor into my daily
routine my complexion is fresh, replenished and luminous.
